Strange Canvas Copy and Grouping by Mass

A strange thing just happened in Word 2003. I copied a canvas from the main
doc to a New doc. Not all the pieces of the figure I drew copied over. I
deleted each visible item to see if anything was buried under them. Nothing.

A few weeks ago I posted this question, but I've fogotten the solution and
the post has disappeared from the NG.

Is it possible to select a number of items collectively to become a group by
placing some selection tool around the whole lot of them?

Hello Watson,

What happens when you view the Drawing Toolbar, click on the arrow that
says "Select Objects", draw a box around the entire group and then
click Edit, Copy (and then Paste)?

I've usually had luck with this when drawing pictures with layers that
had to be transported/transferred as one group. The selection tool
seems to select all the objects, no matter how many of them happen to
be there.
